What is Blue Stake?

        Arizona Blue Stake was established by utility companies as a one-call notification system to assist contractors, homeowners and excavators in locating and identifying underground facilities so that these networks are not damaged during the excavation, trenching or digging activities. It is the law that is referred to as the Underground Facilities Law or, simply, the Blue Stake Law.
(ARS chapter 2, Article 6.3, Sections 40-360.21 through 40-360.32.)

        Arizona Blue Stake is a damage prevention service that is offered free of charge to individuals or companies planning to excavate.

    Although it's a free service, we at "Got Stump?" are computer trained from the Arizona Blue Stake center as compliant in order in implement the required information into the IRTHNET database so the Blue Stake locators are able to come out to the assigned locations and mark the precise sites to be excavated.

        This also saves you the hassle from having to be compliant in order to have your tree stumps removed since we have taken the initiative to be Blue Stake compliant in order to process the requests ourselves to provide you better service.


Penalty for failure to comply:

        Owners of underground facilities and even those who want to plant a tree or install an irrigation system who fail to mark the facilities and contact Blue Stake before excavating are breaking the law and could result in a maximum fine of $5000.

        Spare yourself the surprises from a bursting water gusher, shut down sprinkler timer, major shock or explosion by allowing the stump removal specialists at "Got Stump?" to take care of your stump removal project.
